Every moment here can be read in more than one translation. Pick one below and every verse across the site will be shown in it; if a moment is not yet covered by your choice, it falls back to the default. Each translation here is in the public domain or dedicated to it, which means God's Word in these words can be shared, printed, and passed on without restriction.
They differ in two honest ways: the manuscripts they translate (the textual base) and how they balance word-for-word precision against natural English. None of these differences change what the Bible teaches; they are different windows onto the same text.
Completed 2020 by the Berean Bible project with Bible Hub; dedicated to the public domain (CC0).
A fresh translation built to balance word-for-word accuracy with clear, contemporary English. Produced by a translation committee in cooperation with Bible Hub and released fully into the public domain, which is why it can be shared, printed, and quoted without any restriction. Our default modern text.
Offered on this site; the default here.
A volunteer revision of the ASV into modern English, coordinated through eBible.org; completed 2020.
The first complete modern English Bible deliberately placed in the public domain. Volunteers updated the American Standard Version's wording verse by verse over two decades, with the New Testament following the Greek Majority Text. Plainspoken and sturdy.
Offered on this site.
A sister edition of the Berean Standard Bible; public domain.
Reads almost identically to the BSB, but its New Testament is translated from the Greek Majority Text, the reading found in most surviving manuscripts, rather than the Critical Text. If you want modern English with a Byzantine textual base, this is the one.
Offered on this site.
An open, community-edited modern translation under CC0; a work in progress.
A community project building a readable modern translation with a fully open editing process, starting from the Twentieth Century New Testament. It is not yet complete, so it appears in the translation picker only on moments whose verses it has covered.

1611; this site uses the standard 1769 text.
The most influential book in the English language, and for four centuries the Bible most believers knew by heart. Majestic, musical, and public domain in the United States (in the United Kingdom, printing rights rest with the Crown). Our devotionals quote it as their shared anchor text.
Offered on this site.
1901; the American revision of the Revised Version.
Long prized by scholars for its strict word-for-word fidelity to the Hebrew and Greek. The language is formal and sometimes archaic, and it renders the divine name as Jehovah. It later became the base text for several modern translations, including the WEB.
Offered on this site.
1862, revised 1898, by Robert Young of Edinburgh.
An almost mechanical rendering by the compiler of Young's Analytical Concordance, preserving Hebrew and Greek tenses and word order wherever English allows. It reads roughly, on purpose; people reach for it to see what the original is literally doing under the surface.
Offered on this site.
New Testament 1582 at Rheims, Old Testament 1609 to 1610 at Douai; revised by Bishop Richard Challoner in the 1740s and 1750s.
The historic English Catholic Bible, translated from the Latin Vulgate by English College scholars in exile and gently modernized by Challoner. Its cadences shaped Catholic devotion in English for centuries. Our references follow the modern (Hebrew) numbering of the Psalms, so a Douay printing may number some Psalms one lower.
